Enhanced Medical Diagnostic Platform
Stellar Echo is a groundbreaking telemedicine ultrasound service revolutionizing access to medical diagnostics both on Earth and for future lunar missions. Incubated at CNES (French Space Agency), this innovative system enables non-specialists to perform ultrasound examinations remotely guided by expert physicians. Our comprehensive all-in-one solution integrates a high-performance portable ultrasound device with multiparametric monitoring capabilities (ECG, temperature, blood pressure) to deliver reliable diagnostics across all environments, from remote locations to future lunar bases.
At Chipiron, we are building the first light, inexpensive MRI machine that works at an ultra-low magnetic field without compromising on image quality. Our mission is to disrupt the diagnosis industry by making MRI 100x more accessible, enabling wider, earlier, and massive screenings and check-ins. Many deadly diseases are already curable if diagnosed early enough: we are building a future in which MRI is as common as blood sampling.
Chipiron presents a major interest for spatial missions, particularly in the context of Earth-Mars or Earth-Moon missions. In these environments where astronauts are already exposed to high levels of radiation, MRI stands out for its total absence of X-rays. With TechTheMoon, Chipiron aims to accelerate its development, aiming for clinical image grade quality in summer 2025.
System for producing energy from metals from regolith.
Fenix Energy designs, manufactures and markets low-carbon energy production systems (cogeneration plants) based on the combustion of metal particles. The targeted onshore market is that of off-grid energy production (network balancing or industrial cogeneration). On the Moon, regolith being an important source of metals and oxygen, it is possible to produce energy from this resource during the 14 days without sunlight. Iron, in particular, which is the preferred fuel on Earth, is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust (and regolith). Its high temperature oxidation generates heat without CO2 emissions and rust that is easily recoverable and regenerable using renewable energies. The interest of metals as fuels lies in the ease (and safety) of transport and storage (high energy density) of green energies. Thus their deployment for industrial heat or off-grid electricity production applications is simple and without infrastructure costs (no need to extend the electricity network or pipelines like hydrogen).
Biodysseus is an underwater research, study and development laboratory based in Savoie. It offers medium- and long-term space analog missions in hostile, confined and icy environments. It enables us to develop and test prototypes in collaboration with specialized companies, as well as work on human behavior while carrying out training dives or remote operations simulating weightlessness close to the extreme conditions of the moon.
Objective via TechTheMoon:
Develop the structure and be able to co-build the laboratory by studying needs in the space environment field in order to respond to future collaborations and specific requests.
Measurement of electromagnetic radiation
The growth of the market for connected systems using radiating devices (satellites, drones, internet of things, connected and autonomous machines) and performing more and more critical tasks generates a need for solutions to measure the quality and performance of antennas. The Fieldisplay product developed by Anyfields addresses this need by providing a system for visualizing electromagnetic radiation and measuring antenna performance.
Optical analysis of the chemical properties of a material
METIS offers a new concept in technical imaging instrumentation, providing new detection functionalities and imaging in situ, where previously it was necessary to bring the objects to be analysed to the laboratory. Thanks to technical innovations in illumination, detection and analysis of multimodal images, METIS can locate and discriminate materials and defects that cannot be detected by current devices.
Plant production in the phytotron
Orius develops plant production technologies in a controlled environment to support the development of new applications, such as plant production in a space environment, accelerated varietal selection, or the elaboration of compounds of interest for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and bioproduction industries.
Moon and underwater habitat
Spartan Space is developing space habitats for lunar exploration and underwater habitats. This habitat concept, called “EuroHab/ILOT”, is designed as a lunar lander payload. It is the first development of an inflatable lunar habitat, providing more habitable volume for a given mass. It also includes a mobility function to provide a habitat capable of moving on the Moon’s surface.
Reusable lunar vehicle
The Exploration Company’s ambition is to democratise access to the Moon for the space and non-space industries through reusable space vehicles. The company is developing a modular spacecraft that serves Earth orbit, for 3-6 month experiments in its simplest version, and then the Moon, in its most advanced version, through a reusable lunar orbital vehicle that can be refuelled in orbit, using propellants that can be produced from in-situ resources.
Monitoring of risks related to human factors
InMind-VR allows to monitor the risks linked to human factors thanks to a platform integrating a software solution with virtual reality, coupled with the latest on-board sensors for monitoring physiological and cerebral responses for a complete evaluation of the human. InMind-VR goes beyond traditional medical-psychological assessments by developing scenarios that take into account the latest knowledge in neuroscience and that are precisely adjusted to the level of performance to be achieved.
Commercial astronaut training
The Spaceflight Institute propose, en partenariat avec des agences spatiales, des universités et des entreprises spécialisées, une formation professionnalisante et certifiante complète « d’astronautes commerciaux », alliant connaissances théoriques et entrainements pratiques, conforme à la norme de la FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).
Superfood production
Neopouss aims to overcome the physical and logistical constraints of producing the “super foods” that are micro-fruits by means of a dehydration process that preserves all of the plants’ nutrients. This process will make it possible to multiply the uses of microgreens in the health and gastronomy sectors.
Virtual reality for complex operations
VR2Planets offers virtual reality applications allowing its users to carry out complex technical operations in immersive collaboration. VR2Planets’ applications accurately recreate real environments (e.g. Mars terrain) through an interface mixing the latest technologies in image data processing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality.
